Bulbs Plants ceyutaee Autumn Catalogue 1928 R. & J. FARQUHAR COMPANY 6 SOUTH MARKET STREET, BOSTON FARQUHAR’'S BULBS FOR NATURALIZATION. HE increasing practice of planting bulbs extensively in the Rock Garden, Woodlands, Wild Garden and among Grass produces an effect which is nearer to nature than any other style of gardening. Daffodils, Crocuses, Lilies, Trilliums, etc., growing amid such surroundings have a charm that is not to be found in the more conventional beds and borders of the cultivated garden. The following bulbous plants are es- pecially suitable for natural plantations. A full description of the following varieties will be found in the body of the catalogue.

FARQUHAR'SS GIANT DARWIN TULIPS 122 colors range from the palest lilac to purplish black, including shades of rose, crimson, violet, brown, white, etc. The Darwin Tulips are the strongest race of all, their massive leaves being often four inches broad and frequently grow two to three feet in height. They bloom with the Columbines, three or four weeks after the Single Early Tulips. Clumps of them along the edge of shrubbery and in hardy plant borders are very effec- ave. rey ere especially beautiful when cut for vases. The figure following the name indicates the relative time of flowering. Those marked * are e best for forcing. If by Parcel Post, add postage at zone rates; weight per 100, 7 lbs.

The May-Flowering Tulips are usually in full bloom about Memorial Day and generally last well into June. Not only do they prolong the Tulip season, but in grandeur of form and richness of their colors surpass most of the earlier classes. They are splendid subjects for natural planta- tions, for clumps in herbaceous perennial borders as well as for formal beds. For cutting they are even better than the early tulips—the flowers being stronger and tasting longer. fa NOVELTIES IN COTTAGE GARDEN TULIPS Alaska.

In them we possess a range of colors and combination of shades which no other class affords; besides, the standard sorts are so reasonable in price that they can now be planted in quan- tity. For bedding, pot culture and forcing for cut flowers in Winter thev are invaluable Farquhar’s Special Rainbow Mixture Single Early Tulips with Pansies. CULTURE. The cultural directions given for hyacinths on page 9 can be applied to Tulips, except that the bulbs being smaller must not be planted quite so deep. Four to five inches to the bottom of the bulb is deep enough and a distance of 4 to 6 inches between the bulbs is suffi- cient, They may be planted in October and November before the ground freezes. For pots, six to eight bulbs in a 7-inch pan is very satisfactory. FARQUHAR’S SPECIAL RAINBOW MIXTURE. The varieties included in this mixture are grown separately, and are all p®pular large-flowered bedding sorts of decided merit. The colors are carefully proportioned, and include white, yellow, pink, scarlet, crimson and many beautiful shades and combinations of these colors. The sorts are selected to flower at nearly the same time and with slight variation in height. For massed beds and grouping our Rainbow Mixture is unsurpassed. The bulbs offered are of the largest size and finest quality. 70 cents per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $48.00 per 1,000. ? SUPERFINE MIXTURE.

It is important in the pot culture of the Hyacinth to have rich, light soil—if possible, a compost of one-third decayed turf, one-third old rotten sow manure, and the remainder equal parts of sharp sand and leaf-mould. This compost should be made a few weeks before being used. If the bulbs are to be potted singly, pots five inches in diameter are the proper size, and the special Hyacinth pots which are about two inches deeper than ordinary pots, are preferable. For drain- age, cover the hole in the pot with a piece of broken pot, and over this place a layer of moss. Break off any offsets which appear at the base of the bulbs, and in potting place each bulb so that its top shall be half an inch below the surface of the soil and an inch below the rim of the pot. The soil should be of usual natural moisture, and should be pressed moderately firm. The filled pots may be placed in a cold frame where there is protection from frost, and well watered. An excellent plan is to place them on a bed of moist, sifted coal ashes, covering the pots to a depth of six inches with the same material. When well rooted, which will be in about six weeks, the bulbs may be brought indoors and forced. For the first two or three weeks they should be kept in a temperature not exceeding 50 degrees. Success in forcing depends much on their having strong roots before being brought to the light. The top grows rapidly, and unless the roots are started much in advance they are unable to nourish the plant, and failure results. Hyacinths for early use may be potted in September or October; late planting is not advisable, as the bulbs deteriorate; when desired fer late use, it ig better to pot them in October and keep them in a cold frame above freezing until it is desired to force them into bloom. To obtain dwarf foliage and fine flower spikes, Hyacinths when being forced should have plenty of manure-water, fresh air, and should be kept very near the glass. The blooms last much longer if shaded from the sun. Hyacinths in the Open Garden. The ground should be dug to a depth of at least fifteen inches, and enriched with plenty of well-rotted cow manure. Hya- cinths may be planted from September until Winter sets in; although if the highest success is sought they should be in the ground by the end of October. Bulbs planted early develop roots in the autumn, and these, if protected from injury by freezing and thawing alternately during the Winter, enable the bulbs to produce much larger flower spikes than if the roots are not developed until Spring. Frost reaching the bulbs raises them up, thus detaching them from their roots. Protection may be afforded by covering the beds with straw or leaves to a depth of six or eight inches, which should be removed early in the Spring. NHyacinths should be set six inches below the sur- face of the ground and six inches apart. FARQUHAR’S SELECTED FORCING HYACINTHS.

The Strawberry is easily cultivated: abundant crops can be obtained from a variety of soils, differing widely in character, from a light sand to a heavy clay. The best soil is a deep sandy loam, but any soil suited to the growth of ordinary field or garden crops may be trusted to successfully grow the Strawberry. The soil should be broken up and pulverized by spade-trenching or subsoil-plowing, enriching with good stable manure to a depth of fully two feet, the quantity of manure to be determined by the condition of the soil. The plants may be set in beds of three rows one foot apart and one foot distant in the rows, with a space of two and a half feet between the outside rows of adjoining beds left for a pathway. They may also be planted in single rows three feet apart and one foot apart in the rows. FARQUHAR’S “SELECT” VARIETIES OF STRAWBERRIES.

This Grass is usually con- sidered and treated as a short-lived perennial, and hence is the best grass to grow in a short rotation. It succeeds best,on moist loams and clays naturally rich in humus or on those which have been heavily manured. It grows in loose tufts, with few short leaves, so that Red Top or Red Clover should be sown with it to furnish heavy bottom growth of leaves. Sow one bushel per acre if alone. (45 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb., 14 cts.; per 100 lbs. $12.00. Wood Meadow. (Poa nemoralis.) Well adapted for growing under trees and in shaded situations. Dwarf and fine-growing. Sow two and a half bushels per acre. (14 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb., 85 ets. CLOVERS. Red Medium. (Trifolium pratense.) The best clover for all practical purposes. Succeeds best on rich, warm loams, containing humus. Lime and potash are essential for its best development. A biennial, but by close eersaee may be made to last several years. Per lb., 50 cts.; 100 bs., $45.00. Mammoth or Large Red Northern. (Trifolium pratense.) On rich, loamy soil this variety grows nearly twice as large as the Medium Red Clover and is earlier to start a Spring growth. Per lb., 50 cts.; 100 lbs., $45.00. Alsike or Swedish. (Trifolium hybridum.) This Clover will thrive where the soil is quite wet, and will even stand flooding without being killed. Productive and sweet and extremely valuable for both pasturage or soil- ne ee eater afford a fine pasturage for bees. Per lb., 40 cts.; 100 Ds., $35.00. : FIELD Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. (Vicia villosa.) Should be sown at the rate of from four to six pecks per acre, broadcast or in drills, from August 15 to October 1, and withit as a supporting crop to raise the vines up off the ground there should be planted from two to four pecks of Winter Wheat, Oats or Rye. It should be cut while the Vetch is in full bloom. It may be planted in Spring in order to supply an early green crop for soiling purposes, or in midsummer for late Autumn forage.
